Abstract
Cultural consumption is a common method for identity formation and self-representation. In cultural consumption, people use all types of valuable goods and symbols, not for their financial value but for their cultural value, to create an ideal image of their self in other people’s minds. Consequences and results of consuming artistic and cultural goods constantly affect their consumption level. If the results are somehow positive, they will bring about more and better consumption of these goods and if there have been negative consequences of consuming these goods. The consumption level of these will decrease automatically in the near future and consequently the society will not benefit. Therefore, current study’s laid out in order to identify factors and points that are related to cultural consumption and security sense. This is a quantitative study and in applied science, and from the viewpoint of design it is a correlational-descriptive study in which using Pearson correlation coefficient, the relation between cultural goods consumption and sense of security is investigated.
